Objectivism, the epistemological theory of Ayn Rand, is similar to Naïve realism in that there is an external world, of which we gain knowledge through the senses.

Objectivism rejects pure empiricism on the grounds that we are able to move beyond the level of sense-perceptions by means of objective concepts.
